    Another Hoop Maneuvered

    In June I took the second of three tests I must pass to be licensed by the state of New Mexico. This test covered my content area, Secondary Ed:Language Arts. To pass requires a score of 240 or higher with a maximum of 300 possible.

    Just received an email with my results.........












    Test: 012 New Mexico Content Knowledge Assessment of Language Arts
    Your Scaled Total Test Score: 274
    Minimum Passing Scaled Score: 240
    Status: Passed





    I'm doing the happy dance now.

    This test had me sweating, many of the questions had very little material to draw upon for context for some of the sections.

    Well done Rob... I will raise a toast to you this evening!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    We expect nothing but exemplary posts from this point on. (The emphasis is mine)
